West Ham will be at home to the winners of Fulham and Blackpool in the fourth round of the FA Cup if they can beat Manchester United in their replay.

The Hammers had looked on track to knock out the Premier League leaders after James Collins' headed brace had put Sam Allardyce's side in front after Tom Cleverley had opened the scoring at Upton Park. However, Sir Alex Ferguson's earned themselves a competition lifeline when Robin van Persie equalised late on.

Fulham and Blackpool were also unable to be separated in their third round tie yesterday, but the Championship will fancy their chances in the replay after securing a 1-1 draw at Craven Cottage.

The fourth round tie is due to be played on the weekend of January 26 and 27.
